I'm trying to create a simple connection from my desktop to my laptop to share a few files. I wud just use a cd disk but for some reason my re-writer has stoped working, so I thought about setting up a basic LAN connection with just a cable from one computer to the other.
Both have ethernet connections yet wen I try to set up a connection, neither computer can see each other nor find the connection.
Both are on XP.
Can anyone help me,
P.S noob at settin up networks so b gentle with the words lol
